Chapter 14: What Happens to the Forest Squad
Twenty floors, garden area
Rub!
A white light shone out from the portal on the side, and from inside the portal, a young man with white hair and black eyes walked out, and the black cloth wrapped around his back was particularly eye-catching.
And there is no one around him, and at first glance he is a lone player who is tall (obscene) big (obscene) powerful (trivial) fierce (trivial).
It's been three months since the first layer was defeated.
The vast majority of players have begun to gradually adapt to this "death game". Of course, there are still a few players who are still in the town of Start, but that is already a minority.
The most significant change, in Lin Yi's opinion, is just the establishment of the strategy group.
The strategy group, as the name suggests, was created to defeat the death game of SAO! Recently, however, some new trade unions have begun to emerge.
In any big game, there will be a union! The two most well-known guilds are the "Knights of the Blood Alliance" and the "Holy Dragon Alliance"
The union can be said to be existing while regulating the state of everyone's game and allowing players to enjoy the fun of the game, although it has changed some flavor in SAO, but this does not lose its essence.
Lin Yi stroked the gray hair in his ears and began to stroll down the empty street. In his left hand, he still holds a snack like a cone, and when he walks, he will take a bite from time to time.
That's right, this is the cone, which is a product from the world of learning to fight, but after the sword, it is just digitized.
"Ahh
The daily newspaper recorded some major events that had happened recently, and there were some small news that Lin Yi was interested in, such as the purpose of his coming to the twentieth floor this time, which was also because of the clues provided by a player in the daily newspaper.
Some related reports of "A-grade ingredients, bloody mad cows appear in the garden area"!
Lin Yi's current level is level 50, which can be said to be the highest first-line level among all players, and even the leader level of the Blood Alliance Knights is currently only about level 44.
And he spends his nights exploring the labyrinth area of some locations, so the upgrades are generally far beyond the average person. What's more, those big guys have to sort out this and that every day, so they don't have so much time to upgrade or anything.
In SAO, everyone can choose a position they like, and the same equipment will also be configured in that direction, because there are no clear class rules, and most of the skills are general skills, so players don't have to worry about choosing a class.
But life skills are an exception! The existence of life skills has created such a group of opportunities that do not want to fight against high-level bosses, but can rely on safety and comfort in the city!
There are a few major life occupations that are the most popular, namely blacksmithing, cooking, and alchemy!
Under the huge personnel base, the demand for equipment has always been in a state of short supply, and the equipment has the attribute of wear and tear.
In other words, no matter how rare or difficult to obtain equipment, as long as the wear and tear reaches zero, it will be directly damaged and then shattered. Therefore, the matter of repairing equipment has become something that many players have been worried about.
However, after the forging of this skill, this phenomenon has been well suppressed, and forging this skill can be done anytime, anywhere, by spending a certain amount of money and materials to restore the wear and tear of the equipment!
Therefore, in every union, there will be professional forgers!
Not to mention the cooking, SAO simplifies most of the cooking steps, so you can easily cook a variety of delicious foods with just a little thought and a little understanding of the recipe of the ingredients!
Alchemy is a relatively unpopular sub-profession, and it is quite difficult to improve, but alchemy can be described as a good assistant for killing people and setting fires, and traveling at home.
Why? It's because in alchemy, there is quenching poison! And the paralysis potion! And the recovery potions are naturally also refined by alchemists, of course, since the game is still in the early stage, there are not many decent alchemists.
There are rumors of gossip that there are alchemists in some unions.
Lin Yi, as a first-line player, naturally will not lack sub-professional skills, but each player has a stipulation that they can only choose one sub-professional main skill, after being selected as the main skill, the difficulty of improving this skill will be greatly reduced, and the improvement of other sub-professional skills will be more than twice as difficult.
The average life player specializes in one skill.
The skill that Lin Yi chose was cooking. (Don't hit me, is it wrong for otaku to eat!) )
Usually, Lin Yi is either upgrading or beating ingredients, and when he wants to relax, he will choose a good weather and then cook some delicious dishes by himself.
Every time he sees the table of food he has made, he will be proud. "Look, I can do laundry and cook by myself, what else do I need a woman to do!"
Twenty floors, the western forest.
This is the leveling area for some players who are around level 20. The benefits of the Raiders are undeniable, but there are also some disadvantages, namely the serious disconnect between mid-level players and high-level players.
Don't forget, the vast majority of players who enter this world are ordinary people, who don't have the drive of professional gamers, and in this desperate environment, they will only choose a comfortable leveling place.
The 20th floor is a good choice!
"Oran, can you resist this monster?"
"Nonsense, don't underestimate me, okay!"
In the forest, a young man with a northwest hair and a stud-earring gangster looked like a small gangster, holding the neck of another brown-haired young man with one hand and chatting.
They were followed by three teammates.
"Okay, Shearer, don't tease, hurry up and attract the monster, otherwise don't be a good old lady to kill you with a sword!"
"Good, good! Hey, look at me! Hiller jumped to the front with a spear about two meters long, and there was a mediocre-looking tree.
The one who just spoke was an energetic woman, about one meter six or five tall, with a huge iron sword on her back. A head of black curly hair draped directly over his chest, and of course, there didn't seem to be any bulge on his chest.
The two men who followed her were holding bows and arrows and long knives.
"Dinah, shouldn't we try it first, isn't it okay to be so rash?" A bald man on the side was like a little woman at the moment, and reminded him cautiously.
"Husband, do you still want to refute my opinion!" Dinah glanced at it, and the bald man instantly closed his mouth and said no more, if Lin Yi was there, he would definitely be able to recognize that this big bald man was his store manager.
And beside him, of course, is Lin Yi's store manager's wife.
"Okay, Dinah, you're always bullying him like this, be careful that Lal divorces you! Hahahaha" The man who looked young on the side, but had a little little beard on his chin teased.
"Hmph, how dare he!" Dinah frowned, looking very dissatisfied with the talk of her teammates, but she didn't look like she could say anything.
"Captain Xiong Bo, don't say it, let's concentrate on leveling, alas, I should have listened to Lin Yi if I knew it."
"Lin Yi? Is that your little clerk? I said a long time ago, let you close the broken shop and go back to the company with me, if you don't listen, you have to say anything to stand on your own, what's the matter, isn't it money with my money! ”
Ral looked at his wife, who hated iron but not steel, and just wanted to fight back, but a shout came from the front.
"Run! This is not a leveling area that we can come to! Retreat, retreat! ”
The spear in Shearer's hand, who had combed his northwest hair, was long gone, and behind him, there were five or six monsters like dryads, chasing him closely.
The quickest reaction was to follow Orlan behind his ass, and the one who ran was called a quick one.
"Don't go yet!"
Dinah glanced at the situation and hurriedly wanted to retreat, when suddenly, a huge dryad rushed out of Xiong Bo's side.
In the blink of an eye, this five-person team formed a back-to-back situation, and it was estimated that there were about a dozen dryads, which had completely surrounded them.
"What should I do, I said it wasn't safe here, a few people I saw at the bar a few days ago, after entering this forest, they never came back!" Although Lal was crying bitterly, he still stood forward slightly with his heavy shoulders, and next to him stood his wife.
At this time, Dinah was also thinking hard, "Can I use the cloister crystal to go back to the city first?"
"I tried, it didn't work! You can't get out of the battle state! Oran looked at the scene in front of him, and the small wooden shield in his hand looked a little unstable.
